Fortunately not everyone is as cynical as you. You should really watch this speech, given by Robert Reich (U.C. Berkeley prof, secretary of labor under Clinton) at an Occupy rally I was at. Damn inspiring.

There is no message.

No objective.

No Leadership.

As a result, No one cares! Fact.

Thank you.

As you were.

And I go to as many Occupy rallies as possible, and have a decent sense of what I’d call the heart of the movement, and this is absolutely not in the spirit of that movement. That’s not to say I doubt the people who did this called themselves Occupy, just that they don’t speak for the movement in any sense.

But yeah, without Occupy, it seems to me that there really is no hope for this country at all.

Welcome to the show amateur.

Thanks for clearing it up.

Oh yeah, what were you saying about an Agent Provocateur?

Go back to Indiana…Occupy is dead.

No other cops were anywhere in sight for the next ten minutes at least (I eventually went home), although apparently the dispatchers claimed they were there (I heard someone on the phone near me talking to a dispatcher, and telling them that no, indeed, there were actually no cops anywhere in vicinity, despite what they thought).

Kind of ridiculous.

When I was in the Middle East, there were terrorists and insurgents who had so much chutzpah that they were willing to kill themselves and dozens of innocent people just for the slim chance that they might kill or injure us.

All anarchists do is vandalize property and then run away like cowards. They have no chutzpah. They are like little girls who are trying desperately to get the approval of their indifferent parents. They accomplish nothing but to generate public hatred for whatever cause they latch onto.

The police are so scared of lawsuits that they will not do what needs to be done.
